finder question...

i was moving around a bunch of files (mp3s&mpegs), i had them selected and was dragging them into a folder. i didn't notice when exactly it happened but i just saw them at the lower half of the finder sidebar, you know along with applications, desktop, movies, music, pictures...

I was moving around 17 files, and those exact 17 files appeared on there. kindly see the attached screenshot to see what i mean.

how do i remove them?

i tried preferences then sidebar, but the files weren't there to be unticked. selecting or rightclicking the files to delete them only causing itunes to run and play the file. any ideas? thanks =P

I think you just drag them off - you'll get a little puff of smoke appear under the mouse pointer, and when you release the button the item will vanish.

tnx =P

i'm dragging them one by one... poofing is fun =P

any idea how they got in there in the first place?

You might have just released them accidentally while dragging. It's easily done, I've done it a few times, particularly if you're using a Mighty Mouse, which isn't suitable for large dragging operations.
